1. Ex Macomb Twp. fence company owner sentenced for theft, false pretenses (macombdaily.com) — A Macomb Township woman has been sentenced in Macomb County Circuit Court after stealing tens of thousands of dollars from her father and multiple fence-company customers across several local communities. Her no-contest pleas and repeated violations led to prison time, restitution orders, and dismissal of some charges. The case highlights ongoing efforts by Macomb prosecutors to address financial crimes against seniors.
2. Macomb County saw lowest price for E85 gas at $2.49 in week ending Aug. 8 (warrensun.com) — Macomb County drivers paying for E85 can find some of Michigan's lowest recent prices, with one local station reporting $2.49 per gallon during the week ending Aug. 8 and a countywide average of $3.47. The piece compares those prices with statewide trends and explains how global oil markets and refinery issues are driving local volatility.
3. Macomb Area Conference White Division football team capsules (macombdaily.com) — High school football fans around Macomb will see a reshaped MAC White Division this fall, with Anchor Bay and Port Huron Northern joining a field that already includes Roseville, Lakeview, Utica and Warren Mott.

4. Jay DeBoyer selected as John James' lieutenant governor pick for Michigan GOP ticket (annarbortimes.com) — Macomb County Republicans are central to U.S. Rep. John James' choice of House Oversight Chair Jay DeBoyer as his preferred lieutenant governor running mate, ahead of the Aug. 22 GOP convention. If DeBoyer joins the ticket, Macomb and St. Clair county parties must quickly agree on a new candidate for his 63rd House District seat, potentially reshaping local representation.
